So what's the norm?

Husband and I moved to the area and bought a house in Winchester. I am white, he is Asian pacific islander, leaning more towards his Hawaiian blood so he is pretty brown. Our neighbors refuse to make eye contact with us. I wave and smile, they find somewhere else to look. Is this a racism thing? A local culture thing? Did we miss some sort of thing like I need to make cookies and go introduce myself? We are not super social, but we moved here from a neighborhood on the coast where old ladies stopped to talk and drop off random food or toys so this cold reception is weird. We have been told in the past that we are great neighbors and that we are quiet even with our two kids so I dont think we "did" anything.
